  1. Lloyd was the guy I wanted
  2. He has some good traits but his moody bitching for a call every time down the court is annoying and will actually work against him more than it helps
  3. Teams showed some fight and kept it close with two starters on the bench
  4. Now we are fucked with traore getting heavy minutes
  5. The offense kind of looks like there’s a method to the madness but the defense is getting lost in no man’s land between 3 point and paint way too much … or switch defense on screens is slow as hell
  6. Traore just got teabagged by that guard that dunked on him!
  7. Gonna need pope, heide, wilcher and weav to bring their A games … mark just looks miserable so I’m not sure he has the necessary grit to make a difference… Vok needs to stay out of foul trouble to keep traore’s minutes limited
  8. the fact this is a new coach/system with new players and is nearing Weltlich level hype in just year one is pretty terrifying.... fans are skeptical and it's going to take a lot more than three promising freshmen next year to fill seats. Gonna need to gritty finish this year and that's starts with our 4 guards stepping the fuck up.
  9. Guards silent but Vok, Swain, and Heide looking okay so far … the announcing crew making it a brutal listen
  10. Miller is familiar with Hurley's system from his years with Xavier. He knows what to expect. Unfortunately, with our poor ballhandling and poor defense (especially against opposing guards) I think we are in for a drubbing, even if we can see it coming, unless two of our guards play well above their bell curve norms shooting and defending.
  11. I don’t mind a backup big who can rebound so long as we didn’t overpay and we aggressively tried to fill the gaping hole at PG
  12. Slightly better than the odds of owning a snow blower in Laredo
  13. It’s year one and he inherited scraps and had to pull pieces from the portal to form a patchwork team … the only real WTF so far has been the lack of a ball handling guard on the roster … no idea if we competitively offered several portal PGs and they just ended up going to other places but if we didn’t throw chips at some serviceable PGs and thought Mark and Pope could fill that role that’s a huge evaluation fuckup already
  14. It’s certainly not because he blew a ton of NIL on shooters
  15. Mark needs a seat
  16. Wtf defense was that Mark?
  17. This game will be over about 1/4 into our game if we’re lucky
  18. He definitely feels like a shell of his 100% self but that 2nd down play he was getting hit by multiple guys as he was being handed the ball … that’s a shitty call and/or shitty Oline play
  19. Just need some major improvement on getting the ball in bounds and our guards being able to operate the offense under pressure … also need a little work on fine tuning Vok away from the pissed off, run your ass over moves … he’s very good when he makes his move quick rather than pounding the rock for 5 seconds trying to elbow his way into the paint
  20. Mark looks miserable most of the time and plays without any confidence except on the rare occasion when he’s running on the wing during a fast break and gets a lane to the basket … very underwhelming for a 6th year guy
  21. Vok needs to process quicker or kick it back out … that hold the ball for 2 seconds and elbowing his way into 2 ft range is not good …
  22. Mark is our only player with a negative +/- (-8) that half … Weav leads the team with +16 [emoji41]
  23. What’s with all the touch fouls now?
  24. We aren’t bad running off a defensive rebound but our guards are rough viewing in the half court and getting the ball inbounds after dead balls
  25. We know what we have with Vok and Swain. Pope and Mark are consistently inconsistent. They are not guards who can run an offense or handle a press/trap. If Wilcher and Heide continue to gain minutes and confidence, and can provide consistent points, this team could be good enough to fight for a tournament spot. We run the fast break fairly well and probably need to do that as much as we can to keep the pressure off Pope and Mark. Mark did look better last night in the small forward/swing role with Wilcher and Weave on the court and Swain at PF. He seemed more comfortable passing and driving out of that lineup. The smaller line-up with this team is probably as big as our large lineup last year, so we can run that without getting punished if Traore and Vok defend and rebound ok. We are basically as team with 2 guards, Wilcher and Pope. Mark and Weav are basically small forwards, though Weav can defend 1-4. Tonight's game should provide a good glimpse of what Miller thinks will be the most effective line-up(s) in SEC.
